In The Long Run: Eagles Announce Vinyl Reissues of "Live," "Long Road Out of Eden," and "Millennium Concert"
Few captured the spirit of the '70s like California's own Eagles, whose multiplatinum double-album live document Eagles Live joins the 2007 two-disc comeback album Long Road Out of Eden and the hard-to-find release The Millennium Concert in a batch of new, 180-gram vinyl reissues due April 2. 1980's Eagles Live remains a beloved document of two of the band's tours, recorded in California in 1976 and 1980.

Back to the Garden: Rhino Expands Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young's "Déjà Vu" In New Box Set
Crosby, Stills, and Nash's eponymous debut was one of the most auspicious and omnipresent records of 1969, a remarkable and harmony-rich affair featuring such era-defining material as "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," "Marrakesh Express," "Guinnevere," "Wooden Ships," "Long Time Gone," and "Helplessly Hoping." CSN blended folk, country, jazz, rock, and a dash of pop into an often-imitated but never-duplicated sound. In the U.S. alone, the album reached No. 6 on the Billboard Top LPs chart and the top
Short Takes: "Fawlty Towers" Comes to Vinyl with Cleese Autograph; Judas Priest Plans Massive Box Set for Summer
Although only 12 episodes were made between 1975 and 1979, Fawlty Towers remains one of television's most beloved comedies. As recently as 2019, it was named the greatest ever British sitcom by Radio Times, and its magic has never been successfully duplicated. Three American remakes - starring Harvey Korman and Betty White (the pilot-only Chateau Snavely, 1978), Bea Arthur (Amanda's, 1983), and John Larroquette and JoBeth Williams (Payne, 1999) - all failed to recapture the spirit of the
My Song: Keith Jarrett's Improvised "Sun Bear Concerts" Receives Deluxe 10-LP Reissue
Few artists have transformed the landscape of jazz music in quite the same way as Keith Jarrett. Over the course six decades, Jarrett revolutionized piano music as a sideman to Miles Davis, Charles Lloyd, and others, and as a bandleader in his own right. But some of his most captivating recordings present him alone onstage, building thrilling and beautiful pieces that are entirely improvised. One need only look toward his stellar run of ECM recordings releases - among them The Köln Concert

Listen to the Band: Andrew Sandoval Reveals "The Monkees: The Day-by-Day Story" In June
Since its publication in 2005, author Andrew Sandoval's The Monkees: The Day-by-Day Story has been an indispensable reference tool for fans of Davy, Micky, Peter, and Michael - not to mention one helluva read. But as the years passed, the guide to all things Monkees went out of print, with secondhand copies fetching in the three-figure range. Happily, Sandoval has returned to the book for a completely new edition due this June. We were thrilled to have the chance to speak with the author

When COVID-19 unexpectedly struck one year ago, Dolenz and Nesmith were preparing to take to the road once again for An Evening with The Monkees; once the virus rendered that impossible, Dolenz got to work on a celebration of his dedicated friend's classic songs.

Second Chance: Cherry Red, Lemon Collect Bon Scott's Fraternity on "Seasons of Change: The Complete Recordings 1970-1974"
Before achieving international fame as the high-powered vocalist of AC/DC, Bon Scott earned his bona fides in his native Australia - first with The Valentines and then with Fraternity. A few years back, Cherry Red's RPM imprint traced Scott's journey with the pop-oriented Valentines. Now, the Lemon imprint has collected his work with Fraternity in a new 3-CD box set Season of Change: The Complete Recordings 1970-1974 which includes an entire disc of never-before-released

This compendium features 22 tracks on CD drawn from the RCA Victor vaults, every one of which is previously unreleased in any physical format.

The Second Disc is proud to announce the first Second Disc Records/Real Gone Music release of 2021 - and it's one that's been years in the making! Michael Nesmith has always travelled to the beat of a "Different Drum"-whether as the writer of that classic hit for Linda Ronstadt and The Stone Poneys, the wool hat-clad member of The Monkees, or one of the earliest progenitors of the country-rock genre. In recent years, Nesmith has penned the critically acclaimed autobiography Infinite Tuesday,
Waltz in Orbit: Sir George Martin's Space-Age Electronica Receives Limited Edition Reissue
